Runcation Travel

Runcation Travel creates international running adventures for runners by runners. Instead of having to squeeze in a run on vacation, your run becomes the vehicle for exploring and learning about a new country, new culture, and a new landscape. Our ‘Runcations,’ or running vacations, offer a chance to disconnect, meet new friends, and travel long distance routes through some awe-inspiring landscapes. You also cover some pretty impressive mileage up and down mountains along the way.

Our current Runcations include guided, self-guided, and custom group trail running tours all over the world. Since 2016 we’ve scouted out the best trail running destinations and offer running holidays in the Italian Dolomites, Chamonix Mont Blanc, Argentinian Patagonia, Slovenia, Peru, California’s Sierra Nevada, the French and Spanish Pyrenees, and more. Runcation is proud to be a woman-owned business in the outdoor industry. Learn more at Runcation.org

Founder(s), CEO and/or President Liz Gill
Following a 5-year competitive run at the NCAA Division 1 level at Columbia University and USC, Liz Gill has been coaching at the high school, collegiate, and adult level since 2009. As a college and high school coach and while working in guiding and sports media roles, one thing that frustrated her in all these industries was the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions, which ultimately led her to start her own thing. She’s the founder and owner of Runcation Travel, a woman-owned adventure travel business, which provides international running retreats and adventures for avid runners. Along with her experience guiding backpacking, kayaking, and high altitude training trips around the world, she also holds an MS in Kinesiology where she studied the benefits of outdoor adventure therapy on young adult cancer survivors and worked in adapted physical activity. Liz is passionate about sharing the joys of movement in the outdoors and reminding people to take a vacation.
